This review is from: Pope John Paul II ( (Paperback)

The New Scripture Way of the Cross is a translation of the Stations of the Cross as Led by Pope John Paul II in 1991. The format is an opening prayer followed by fourteen stations: the leader announces the station; there is a short dialogue asking to enter into the Passion; the leader proclaims a scriptural passage; all recite a responsorial psalm; the leader reads an invitation to reflection; there is a short period for reflection; finally all recite a prayer.

The 14 stations are all scriptural in constrast to traditional stations which include Biblical and traditional stations. The stations are: Jesus prays in the Garden of Olives; Jesus is betrayed by Judas; Jesus is condemned to death by the sanhedrin; Jesus is denied by Peter; Jesus is judged by Pilate; Jesus is flogged and crowned with thorns; Jesus carries his cross; Jesus is helped by Simon Cyrene; Jesus encounters the women of Jerusalem; Jesus is crucified; Jesus promises to share his reign with the Good Thief; Jesus is on the Cross with His Mother and Disciple below; Jesus dies on the cross; Jesus is placed in the tomb.

This is an excellent Stations, recommended for personal use, use within a parish community is a pastoral choice in which this can be an excellent choice.
